Abstract: A push-pull switch including a first N-channel MOS transistor, the drain-source path of which is connected between a high voltage terminal and an output terminal, a first resistor connected between the gate of the first transistor and the high voltage, a diode having its anode connected to the output terminal and its cathode connected to the gate of the first transistor, a second N-channel MOS transistor having its drain connected to the cathode of the diode, its source connected to a reference potential, and its gate connected to a control terminal, and a second resistor connected between the gate of the second transistor and the output terminal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat display screen, comprising a cathode with electron emission microtips associated with a grid for extracting electrons from the microtips, the cathode/grid comprising conductive grid or cathode lines adapted to being sequentially addressed, and cathode or grid columns perpendicular to the lines and adapted to being addressed individually and simultaneously during the addressing of a line, and the screen comprising a return electrode adapted to being biased to a return potential corresponding to a no electron emission potential, each grid or cathode line being connected, via at least one resistive element, to the return electrode.
